Year 3 were very excited to find out what our new topi is this term.

We began by exploring the school time line. We quickly identified where we are now and could see lots of information that we have already discovered such as Queen Elizabeth II, Titanic sinking and man landing on the moon. WE noticed that many of these events happened a long time ago but they were only on the last little bit of the timeline. When we looked closer we saw that the time line had big periods many years ago called StoneAge, Bronze Age and Iron Age but we did not really know what these were.

This term we are going to be finding out all about these time periods and how life changed through the Stone Age right through to the end of the Iron Age. We discovered what prehistoric meant and how BCE and CE are used to distinguish these time periods, we also used AD and BC. These helped us to put some big events in chronological order such as the discovery of bronze and the use of iron. We are looking forward to finding out how life change so many years ago.
